As has been mentioned basically everywhere (including the post directly below this one), Harold Reynolds and ESPN settled their wrongful termination suit out of court yesterday. Sure, it’s nice to see HR (sort of) stick it to The Man after he was fired for hugging an intern, but if he really wants to put ESPN on blast, then all he needs to do is become a blogger. And wouldn’t you know it; our friends over at Hugging Harold Reynolds (HHR) have a job opening:
I hold in my hand a cashier's check for $75.34. (Hey, we do this blog for free, we ain't got a broadcasting company.) It's already made out to Harold Reynolds (ignore the word Hugging crossed out--force of habit). All you have to do is come on HHR and discuss everything with us. We will hand you the entire check. You probably paid more for the bar tab that night at the restaurant (most of it Kruker sucking down wings and shots of drawn butter) when the alleged hugging went down.Is 75 bucks a lot of money? Definitely, that’s like 50,000 page views worth of blog advertising money No, of course it’s not. But with the millions in ESPN cash HR just scored, does he really need mo’ money? Besides, word on the street is that HHR has some pretty, pretty, pretty sexy interns, particularly that Fat Willard fellow.So, mull it over. Take your time. We aren't going anywhere.
I will skip buying my next 12 of High Life Bottles and pack of Pfunks, throwing a total of 13 bucks into the HR blogger kitty. The pay is now $88.54.Something tells me HR is a High Life kinda guy, so perhaps we should just offer him the 12 pack.
